It's a SunBeam only like 4 or 5 months old. It's a king size with Duel controllers, and a 10 hour auto off.

Try a hot water bottle, very inexpensive and you can knit a neato cozy for them so they're huggable!

Status: offline 		  The dumb things don't get hot enough for my personal taste. And don't even think about turning off before I tell it to turn off!!! If I'm sick in bed all day (as has happened with my health problems), I don't need some blanket telling me it thinks I should be out of bed.

Check your wiring, see if it's the type that has "zone heating", check the connection at the foot of the bed, and since it's fairly new, call customer service for Sunbeam. It should still be covered by the standard one year year warranty. They might have some suggestions that haven't been covered here. :)

We love a very cold room while under warm blankets, goose down is great, wool is good if you put something between you and the blanket, and then there is cuddling, but be warned, this made lead to other things, such as blanket stealing.

Me also, even in a cold bedroom the down gets too warm for me. Too many other bodies in my bed that radiate heat.

I've gone to bed  fully dressed, socks slippers pants a top and a jacket  and the radiator on , and I was still miserable. It's just down right bitter in this garage.

Status: offline 		Forget Sunbeam - the 10 bux you save is not worth it. Go Sealy and
it never fails and it works - follow very carefully washing instructions
though and do not fold if at all possible.

I know its not recommended but I use a Sealy heated mattress pad
and heated blanket and for the first time in 15 years am getting
over 8 hours deep sleep.

Every store I went to originally who sold Sunbeam said they have
a very high return rate and dissatisfied customers and all recommended
I buy Sealy even the Sunbeam store.

Status: offline 		LOL this blanket wasn't cheap, it was like 160 dollars for the king,  and it was the only brand we could find at walmart.

We never wash our electric blankets, I know you can I just prefere not to bother with the hassle of it. We put it on top of another blanket, and it's never next to our skin or dirty.

I'll check out the sealy though.
